[1]Valley Stream 13 Union Free School District is a public school district in New York State that serves about 2200 students in the villages of Valley Stream and Malverne, the hamlets of Franklin Square and Elmont, and the community of North Valley Stream in Nassau County with a staff of 250 (180 teachers and 70 support staff) and a budget of $40 million.[2][3][4][5] It is unique in that most school districts in New York State encompass grades K–12 while this district includes elementary grades K–6 only. It is one of three Valley Stream districts (the others are Elementary Districts 24 and 30) whose students graduate to a separately managed district, Valley Stream Central High School District, for the higher grades.
The average class size is 20 students (all grades).[5] The student-teacher ratio is 12:1.[3]
Adrienne Robb-Fund[when?] is the Superintendent of Schools.[citation needed]
